XL Numerar Desk

Materials: Numerar Worktop (246 x 62cm) / Vika Kaj Adjustable Leg

Description: Me and my girlfriend needed a new desk. A large one. So that we could work at it together. Inspired by this post, we decided to go for a Numerar worktop (length 246cm). We thought it would look best to use as few legs as possible so we mounted some wooden beams we had left to our wall for the worktop to lay on. On the one side where there is no wall we attached a Vika Kaj adjustable leg to the worktop. The result is surprisingly stable!

For some unknown reason our walls are not 100% straight. This allows for some neat cable management as can be seen on the pictures.

Hey, I’ve just puchased a slab of the numerar for my desk (and i love it! paired with the alex drawers). Do you know if you need to follow the 2 moth regular oiling instructions if you are only going to use it as a desk? Also, will hot laptops on the desk be an issue? Thanks for any follow up!

Nice work. I’m planning to do the same thing but with 6 or 7 standalone legs. My main concern is the solidity of the Numerar countertop, is the stitched wood strong enough without full cabinet support?
